It looks great! That tail was actually a close runner up for my first tail. I ended up going with Grow a Tail.

Great pic Coradion!
Wow Coradion, you and your tail look great!
Needed a tail skin for my merfin, but had changed all the merfin tails to fit my smaller monofins, so I made the Scraps Tail.

Hahaha! You are too cute! That florescent tail is SO bright! I have some of the same fabric in my stash, I should make one and we can be twin mermaids!
Go on! Dare you infinity!!!Quote:

Thanks! The Fin Fun tail actually exceeded my expectations - the monofin being encased in Neoprene looks very sturdy, inside the neoprene cover they have put two leather tip covers to cover the monofin to stop it ripping through the neoprene or the tail fabric. The foot pockets were very snug but comfortable and the overall monofin shape looks really great. I haven't tried swimming in it yet so I will know more about it's functional ability once I have been swimming. I was pleasantly surprised with the sizing, because as you probably know the biggest size it goes up to is 'Adult Medium' and according to the size charts I'm a few cm too short for it, but I was happy to find they were quite generous with the length around the hip area so it fits my waist perfectly, I'm 172cm in height.Quote:

Comparitive price us to Australia - from US was $210 AUD including postage, Australian site would be $187 AUD including postage.

I'm currently having my first Mermaid workshop with Mermaid Leina and I'm working on my new fabric tail skin. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures soon!
I'm so excited! I have my first ever class with a pro Mermaid this Wednesday! She's bringing her underwater camera so I should have some pics to share with you guys soon!

That's so exciting leomar! Can't wait to see :)
Sarina I am definitely going to pick your brain about making your own fabric tail. It would be so much easier than battling the US dollar at the moment.

Thanks Adalira and Kait, she's was adorably excited about it.:)

Im seeing more and more mermaids making their own tails, Good on you for giving it a go. -I cant sew to save my life LOL. and everyone on here- YOUR TAILS ARE ALL AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL..
Will I share my tail? Oh very very soon.. With Bluefish's retirement and Tsunami's (aka Bluefish 2.0- Evolved edition) Ready for her Debut, I cant wait for the next two weeks to fly by already So I can do the unboxing and Coo' over her,
I already have another tail in the design stage, Possibly iridescent. No clue as of yet. but it's moon jelly inspired for sure.
Thanks! Before starting this mermaid trip, I couldn't sew either. But I learned from watching youtube, lots of tutorials to help you there.Quote:
